Creating a nursery that's calming AND functional is a journey that goes beyond aesthetics. It's about crafting a space that nurtures both baby and mama.

We've always been strong believers that a nursery should be a sanctuary for the parents as well. Let's be honest, it's likely where you are going to spend a lot of time, especially in that first year. There's likely to be a few sleepless nights and repetitive settles, so creating a space that is inviting, comforting and functional is so important. 

+  DESIGN WITH MUM IN MIND

It's probably at this point in the nesting phase, where everything becomes about what the baby needs, but we mustn't forgot about mum! If mum is comfortable and relaxed, baby will be also. 

 

+   PRIORITISE COMFORTABLE SEATING

Select a comfortable, supportive chair or rocker for feeding and cuddling. Ensure the chair is supportive, soft fabric (definitely not leather), has a foot rest, and can recline for comfort.

 

+   MAKE EVERYTHING ACCESSIBLE

Ensure mama essentials, like water and snacks are next to your breastfeeding chair, and within easy reach to make feeding times smoother and more comfortable. Bunnie Caddie's versatile caddie's are a great way to move all of your things from room to room. Portable and light for those recovering from birth injuries.

 

+   CREATE A DEDICATED SELF-CARE STATION

Creating a dedicated self-care station in your nursery is effortless. Allocate a space where you can keep your PURE MAMA products within reach. This not only ensures that your skin care routine remains uninterrupted but also serves as a daily reminder of the importance of self-care. A few minutes spent here can make a significant difference in your well-being, reflecting positively on your baby.

+  KEEP COT AWAY FROM WINDOW

Position the cot away from direct sunlight and drafts by keeping it away from the window, ensuring a more consistent and comfortable sleeping environment for your baby. Black-out blinds can also help keep the sunlight out for day naps, and warmth in at night.

 

+   ENSURE CHANGING STATION IS AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT

A changing station set at the right height prevents back strain, making nappy changes more comfortable for you and safer for your baby. PLEASE don't just throw the change pad, on top of the nearest dresser. 

 

+   EMBRACE MINIMALISM

Start by embracing minimalism. A clutter-free space promotes a peaceful atmosphere. Bunnie Caddie's, caddies and bags are not just stylish; they're designed to organise essentials efficiently, making sure everything you need is within reach but out of sight. 

 

+   CHOOSE PLANTS CAREFULLY

Including plants can boost air quality and bring a sense of tranquility to the nursery. Be sure to opt for non-toxic, easy-care varieties like spider plants or Parlor palms, and place them out of reach to ensure they’re a safe addition to your baby’s space.

 

+   INCORPORATE NATURAL ELEMENTS

Incorporating natural elements like wooden accents can significantly increase that grounded feeling. In moments of overwhelm, it's important to make sure your surroundings help you feel calm.

 

+   LIGHTING MATTERS

Soft, warm lighting can dramatically transform the ambiance of your nursery. Consider dimmable lights or soft lampshades to create a gentle glow, perfect for those late-night feedings or simply winding down. This softer lighting complements the nurturing environment you're creating, both physically and emotionally.

 

Crafting a calm nursery is a beautiful blend of functionality, aesthetics, and self-care.
